part 3/3 of Willow’s birth story 🌿

Meeting Willow was the best day of my life, holding her in my arms after what felt like the longest battle I’ve ever endured was pure bliss. The rest of the world melted away, it all felt worth it and I couldn’t have done it without my amazing birth team who by the end of it all, felt like family. Garrett was truly my rock through it all, there for every surge, every new heartbreak and every small victory. He held the space for me to cry and be angry, he carried both Willow and I through it all. To Isis who felt like a big sister, who guided me with so much warmth and love, to Martha who captured every beautiful moment, no matter how defeating, to my midwife who listened and supported my vision, and to every nurse that comforted me while I cried. Although my labour and birth were not what I expected, it was the most challenging and rewarding experience I’ve ever been through. It broke me in ways I didn’t know I could be broken, just to rebuild me in preparation for motherhood. It was the best day of my life, meeting my daughter and becoming a mother to Willow, my sweet sweet girl 🌿🩷

part 2/3 of Willow’s birth story 🌿

Later that night I was checked again and I still hadn’t progressed, I remember crying and being so angry. I found out I was only 1cm when I arrived and then I was stuck at 6cm for all the other times. I finally surrendered my idea of a non medicated birth and agreed to receiving an epidural and pitocin, because I wanted to avoid a c section. I was so proud of myself for making it as far as I did, 38 hours with no medication, with surges happening every 3-4 minute, I couldn’t believe I was still alive. About 4 hours after receiving the epidural I felt so much intense pressure and knew it was time to push, I was checked one last time and told I was finally 10cm dilated, Garrett and I cried together in joy, I felt so much relief. After 2 hours of pushing, while playing tug of war with Garrett, Willow entered this world looking straight up, in the occiput position (aka, sunny side up). I later learned that this happens in only 5% of births. This was also the reason my body’s surges were so strong and consistent, trying to get Willow into her proper position. When I finally held her in my arms, I was in so much shock, I couldn’t believe I was holding my daughter, it all suddenly felt worth it.

part 1 of my 42 hour birth story of Willow 🌿

On September 21st around 8am I woke up to my water breaking, we had just went to sleep at 6am so I was already so tired. I immediately woke up Garrett to let him know because my surges started out STRONG. Within the hour they were already happening every 3 minutes, so we headed to the hospital. I remember them being so intense and thinking I was about to give birth in the car, but boy was I wrong. We got to the hospital and met up with my birth team and they checked to see how dilated I was, I didn’t want to know. The surges continued to intensify, so after a few hours I decided to get into the water tub with Garrett. I remember going through so many intense emotions in that tub, discomfort, joyfulness, and determination. As the hours passed I was checked again and informed that my forebag was still intact. So they broke my forebag and found meconium, which resulted in us having to give up on the water birth as it now imposed a risk. This was heartbreaking for me, as it was what I envisioned for so long. That night was difficult, I was exhausted and saddened by how different my labor was from what I imagined it to be. As the sun came up, I found a new source of energy and felt confident as I danced in the room with Garrett, trying to do anything we could to help Willow out. By the morning I was checked again and I still hadn’t progressed since 4pm the day before so we tried an e***a and benadryl, with no avail. I remember feeling so defeated and so utterly broken, as a first time mom it felt like I was never going to meet my baby, because I didn’t know what it was like being a mom yet, everything just felt hopeless.

Happy Father’s Day to this man, although our daughter isn’t here yet he’s constantly taking care of me, which in turn is caring for her. He’s always talking to her, and pushing back on her kicks, attending every doctor’s appointment and every pregnancy/birth class. I’ve already seen him grow so much as a new dad, and I can’t wait to see him blossom more when she’s here. And of COURSE I’m so grateful for how great of a dog dad he is, although Charlie bites his ankles, he tucks him in and loves him unconditionally 🤍🐶 so lucky to have this man by my side and I know our daughter is so lucky too.

These past few weeks have already been so impactful for my journey into motherhood, feeling her kicks and seeing images of her little toes and fingers has truly ignited a love in me that I’ve never felt before. I have felt so connected to Mother Earth, so drawn to her oceans, animals & trees, as if I’m feeling the world through new senses. I’m so beyond grateful that I get to be this little girls mommy, to nurture her, to sing to her, and to protect her, all while she grows inside of me.

I can’t wait to show her so much love, the way I wish I was loved. This journey has already been so healing for me and she’s not even here yet. We’re so beyond in love with her and I just know she’s going to be such a ray of sunshine in our lives ☀️🌊🫶🏻
